A Case of Right-Wing Lunacy

In previous posts, I write about cases of left-wing lunacy. Now, there is a case of right-wing lunacy for me to write about.

This particular case of lunacy appears on the Facebook page of a right-wing entity calling itself The Red Elephants. The website of The Red Elephants is featured in a 01/28/17 story by the Associated Press. That story describes how advertisements for major corporations are appearing on websites that spread fake news, with The Red Elephants being one of those websites.

Now, along with promoting fake news, The Red Elephants entity has promoted fake history by posting the following on Facebook:

Claiming that Buffalo Soldiers slaughtered natives is akin to claiming that American soldiers slaughtered Germans during World War II.

“Although Big Tree escaped, the remaining chiefs were taken into custody without a shot’s being fired. The Buffalo Soldiers performed with cool discipline in a situation that could have resulted in a blood bath.” Well, so much for Buffalo Soldiers slaughtering natives. /sarc

. . . and speaking of factually-challenged, beware of pundits who are too arrogant to admit that they are fallible, especially those who claim to be always right even though their errors have become national news. Am I always right? Answer: Hell no! I have made plenty of mistakes in my writings.
